Now if only they could get Paula Deen to be silent for a time life would be good.

Why you hatin’ on Paula Dean? She’s never boring. We have to take a drink every time she says “ya’ll”

[RichInOC]

I hope they don’t mess up her voice.

(This is sort of like when Steve Buscemi got in a fistfight a few years back and I said, “Boy, I hope they didn’t mess up his face.”)

Couldn’t stand her voice before hope this will improve with her surgery. Like nails on a chalkboard and I’ve seen better cooking at an AppleBees...LOL But I wish her a quick recovery and good health. I love Paula Deen she’s awesome Ya’ll!! LOL

Rach, I really think to protect your voice a good 5 years of silence would be prudent. One cannot be too careful!

Little too much EVOO?

RR grates on one after a while. I received one of her cookbooks as a gift, the editing was awful, lots of errors.

I had this done several years ago. I was coughing so much that I was passing out. I kept telling my doctor that something was wrong but he did not believe me until several months had passed. Finally, they did some tests and discovered a cyst on my vocal cord. I could not talk for a while but everything has been fine since then.

Who is the goofy blond news woman who's voice got worse and worse and then we never saw her on TV again. She is the one who shrieked for joy on camera when Clinton won the first time. I'm thinking she had something really bad like cancer.

"The recipe calls for a pat of butter but I like to use a whole stick."

[Julia H.]

As a singer, I find very few things scarier than vocal cord surgery. I’d rather go on complete vocal rest for two years than have my voice damaged for the rest of my life.

She has always struck me as a fast talking,gravely voiced, used car salesman type, so not surprised she had problems...

“The hardest part for Rachael is going to be giving her voice a rest for the next week or so,”

Talk about belaboring the obvious...name me a woman for whom this statement would NOT apply.

[Vendome]

over the top accentuated and effected accent, with that laugh = White Trash.

Who the hell wants to eat all that butter?

[lainie]

How does one get benign cysts on their vocal cords? By never shutting up, ever?

[Secret Agent Man]

A woman like Rachel who just cannot not talk for less than five seconds, must be in absolute hell right now. Maybe they put her in a drug induced coma to get her through it.
